"This museum is less about farming overall and more about early USA farming and Earl Schoeffner's farming up until the 1940s. That's not a bad thing, but I think it's important to set expectations. The building is top notch, and it is filled with many examples of tools, small implements, and equipment that was needed for life on a farm. The displays are complete, accurate, and well-organized . All of it is clearly labeled. Be sure to get the tour from the museum docent."

"Wonderful exhibit. We were given a guided tour which was very educational. Children might be somewhat bored but adults will diffenately find it very informative. Took about 1 hr to get through everything and entrance fee was a donation request"
